A newsletter from the Oklahoma Commission on Marginally Producing Oil and Gas Wells
Notes from the Executive Director
James Revard
Executive Director
All of us here at the Marginal Well Commission would like to wish each of you a Happy Independence Day
and we hope yours was a safe and enjoyable one. At this time we also would like to extend our appreciation to
the men and woman of our armed forces.
The staff of the Marginal Well Commission has stayed very busy with workshops over the last few months,
working on an iPhone data acquisition application to assist pumpers in the field, updating our website and pre-paring
for the 2011 Oklahoma Oil & Gas Expo. Please visit our website to get information on upcoming work-shops,
our iPhone App and to register to attend or exhibit at the expo.
The Oklahoma Oil & Gas Expo will be held once again at the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds in the Cox Pavilion
on October 6th, 2011. We currently are seeking more Expo sponsors to assist with the cost of showcasing
Oklahoma’s largest oil & gas show. We encourage you to join our other sponsors like Schlumberger, Arvin
Pipe & Supply, Enviro Clean Services, Pacer Energy Marketing, Chesapeake Energy Corporation, Kimray and
Echometer Company (to name a few) and lend your support to the Oklahoma energy industry.
There will be a reception for all registered sponsors and exhibitors in the Cox Pavilion on the afternoon of Oc-tober
5th, 2011. An invitation card will be mailed to our all exhibitors along with their registration packets.
Head Country BBQ will once again be providing a free lunch on the day of the expo for all those in atten-dance;
however, you will need to register on our website in order to receive a meal ticket.
We look forward to another successful Oil & Gas Expo and hope to see you all there. Thank you in advance

Education Coordinator
At the beginning of the year we partnered
with Ken Murphy of Enviro Clean Prod-ucts
& Services to present our annual
SPCC training and this year’s workshop
also featured information on Pre-Lease
Acquisition Environmental Audits/Site
Inspections. We took this workshop to
five cities across the state, making two
stops in Oklahoma City and Tulsa as well
as Enid, McAlester and Ardmore. This
workshop focused on the need for a thor-ough
environmental audit prior to pur-chasing
a producing lease and the condi-tions
to look for during these audits.
Additionally the process of quarterly or
annual site inspections will be detailed
relative to the SPCC regulations. Lastly,
there was an update on the final SPCC
regulations and annual training which
was designed to teach the elements that
are required by the EPA in implementing
a Spill Prevention, Control and Counter-measure
Plan.
In addition to our SPCC workshops we
partnered with the Petroleum Technology
Transfer Council to present workshops
Oklahoma City and Tulsa on the EPA
rule requiring oil and natural gas opera-tors
to report emissions associated with
their operations. 40 CFR Part 98 requires
reporting of Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions from large sources and suppli-ers
in the United States. Operators are
responsible for determining if they must
report; and considering the definition of
facility and the breadth of coverage,
many operators are subject to reporting.
We partnered with the U.S. and State
Occupational Health and Safety Admini-strations
for our third workshop series on
regulations.
Workshop Update
This workshop focused on current and planned OSHA regulations for oil & gas opera-tors
which included the new fire retardant clothing rule as well as: Introduction to
OSHA; Cooperative Programs with oil & gas Companies; Enforcement Program
Goals; Most common OSHA citations in oil & gas citations; and, fatalities in oil & gas
in fiscal year 2010. This workshop took place in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Woodward
and McAlester.
Our fourth workshop was Sucker Rod String Selection and Optimization & Down-hole
Reciprocating Pump Selection and Optimization. We hosted four workshops in Tulsa
taught by NORRIS Production Solutions and Harrison-Fischer which included at tour
of the NORRIS sucker rod manufacturing facility in Tulsa. The workshop consisted of
the proper sucker rod string selection and the manufacturing process of the sucker
rods, selection of the material of construction, sucker rod size selection, the proper
care and handling of the sucker rods and the proper installation procedures to assure
total optimization of rod string. Also included in the Workshop was the selection of
the bottom hole reciprocating pump. Covering the materials of construction, pump
range selection, proper care and handling of the bottom-hole pump and the installation
procedures
Our next workshop will be an Oil & Gas Gross Production Tax Incentives and will be
held in five cities: Ada, Enid, Elk City, Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The workshop will
explain the many federal and state tax incentives available to the oil & gas industry.
The workshop will cover the history of the various incentives available to the oil and
gas industry and why these incentives were enacted into law. The workshop will pro-vide
a detailed overview of the incentives as well as cover real life examples of the
refunds available. A list of other topics are: Overview of Incentives: Inactive; Me-chanical
Failure; 3D; Horizontal; Deep; New Discovery; Enhancement; Gars Market-ing;
Econ-at-Risk; Territory Recovery; Dewatering and Future of Incentives
